Käesoleva uuringu eesmärgiks oli selgitada, kuidas on muutunud loopealsetega seotud päevaliblikate seisund viimase pooleteise kümnendi jooksul. Selleks kasutati aastatel 2007-2009 läbi viidud laiaulatuslik päevaliblikate inventuuri tulemusi ning korrati samadel aladel inventuuri samades mahtudes 2023-2024. Uuring annab ülevaate inventuuri tulemustest.

Käesolev projekt on finantseeritud Keskkonnainvesteeringute Keskuse Keskkonnaprogrammi looduskaitse programmist 2022. aastal (projekti nr RE.4.06.22-0071) ning kaasfinantseerijaks Tartu Ülikool. Aruande kohta käivate küsimuste korral pöörduda Anu Tiitsaar (anu.tiitsaar@ut.ee).

Tiit Teder peab ettekande teemal "Millises metsas sammalhabe elaks?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNQ8OSrlYS4&ab_channel=Keskkonnaagentuur

Raamatu eesmärk on tutvustada meil elavaid päevaliblikaid, nende elukäiku, elupaiku ja olla teejuhiks nende kaunite loomade elu tundmaõppimisel. Raamatust leiab ka juhised liblikate vaatlemiseks ja kogumiseks. Raamatu üldosa on illustreeritud Eestis pildistatud fotodega. Olulise osa raamatust moodustavad fototahvlid ja liigikirjeldused Eesti ja meie lähialade päevaliblikatest. Nendes on toodud kõik Eesti alal leitud päevaliblikate liigid. Lisatud on ka liike, kes esinevad meie naaberaladel ja võivad samuti meile sattuda. Fototahvlitel kujutatud liblikad on pildistatud teaduslike kogude eksemplaridest. Vaid nii on võimalik näidata kõiki olulisi määramistunnuseid ja saada mõistliku aja jooksul pilte kõikidest liikidest. Nende abil peaks igaüks suutma Eesti looduses kohatud päevaliblika ära määrata. Loodame, et käesolev raamat annab oma panuse meie looduse paremale tundmaõppimisele ja seeläbi ka selle paremale hoidmisele.

Määrajasse on koondatud kõigi Eestis leiduva 57 kiili kirjeldused koos piltidega ning lisaks veel kaks, keda siinmail ei ole nähtud, kuid keda teadlased usuvad siin siiski leiduvat. Maailmas on kiile vähemalt 5600 liiki.

Keskkonnaameti projekti nimega «Life» raames koostatud raamatu eesmärk on tekitada huvi kiilide vastu. Viimane kiilide määraja ilmus 1973.
